Prevalence Estimates

Chapter 9 begins with prevalence estimates for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity-impulsivity, and impulsivity are addressed, followed by descriptions of how these symptoms present in children and adolescents. An overview of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criteria for diagnosing ADHD is presented. The chapter includes a discussion of the causes of ADHD and current research, with a focus on possible linkages between ADHD and biological, genetic, environmental, and nutritional causes and current brain research. Diagnosing youth using DSM criteria along with differentiating ADHD and other disorders is discussed. Common assessment tools used to screen for symptoms of ADHD are presented. Chapter 9 ends with two real-life case studies and questions for class discussion.

Key Topics

The Oxford Textbook of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder provides an authoritative, multidisciplinary text displaying the latest research developments in the diagnosis, assessment, and management of patients with ADHD. Organized into eight key sections, this textbook covers the aetiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, comorbidity, clinical assessment, and clinical management of ADHD. Individual chapters address key topics, such as the clinical assessment of ADHD in adults and different presentations of ADHD. They contain information on best practice, current diagnostic guidelines, including DSM-5 and ICD-11, and key up-to-date references for further reading.

Insight Into

The chapter introduces attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and provides an insight into the condition, its causes, treatment, and rehabilitation. The chapter aims to briefly cover the major aspects of the condition. It touches on the role of assessment tools and protocols followed to diagnose and treat ADHD. The content will cover causes of ADHD, reported from research done so far, and changes in the displayed symptoms as a child grows into an adult. Additionally, comorbid conditions which occur along with ADHD are introduced, including the variations among children and adults. Finally, the role of technology in treatments, assessments, and as a support system are presented. The chapter is not an exhaustive guide but a primer to the condition.

Aims and methodTo appraise the value of additional information from objective measurements (QbTest system) in the clinical assessment of children and adolescents with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Two groups of ADHD assessments were compared. In the first group, assessments were undertaken without objective measures, whereas in the second group objective measures were added to the assessment. Practice outcomes were followed up over 1 year.ResultsObjective measures improve differentiating between ADHD and other conditions whose symptoms are known to overlap with ADHD. Objective measurements reduce the risk of unidentified ADHD (P < 0.0035) as measured by subsequent rates of revised diagnosis over a 12-month period.Clinical implicationsIntroducing objective measurements into the clinical assessment of ADHD provides an increased robustness of the clinical diagnosis strengthening clinical decisions for treatment interventions.
